RSC16

Using a stack of blocks I already had on hand from some earlier swaps and RSC color assignments, I worked on a bright cheerful quilt top this week.   Still debating about borders ...

Circa 2016

 

I'm caught up with this week's assignment for

  CIRCA 2016

 

So far we've done 44 little blocks for this sew-along.
My color scheme continues to be "brown plus scrappy."
 

  Since this month's RSC color is brown,
I can count these little guys for that sew-along also.

RSC16 - Blue

UFO busting time! I haven't touched this project since last May -- the first row has been hanging over the door ever since, waiting for me.  Since this month's RSC16 color is blue, I decided to resume work on it.  But when I got the bag of pieces and notes out, I realized that I was no longer interested in putting a lot of time into the original project.  Soooo, this happened next:

 

I chopped the row into three short sections ...

 

 ... and then assembled and machine quilted them into this small quilt.

 

So far, so good, but all the leftovers and scraps were still waiting to be put away.

 

More puttering took place ...

 

 ...and another small quilt was created . 
This one is a variation on Martin's Pennies,
from Civil War Legacies by Carol Hopkins.

 

It will be hand quilted in the coming weeks, and meanwhile a UFO has been conquered!

RSC16

 

 

Another year of Rainbow Scrap Challenge!

Just to get the ball rolling here:

The January colors for RSC16 are blue and purple.

 

I already have quite a pile of mini bowtie blocks from previous RSCs, so I'm just going to add a few blocks to that group for this first week.  It looks like I have plenty of blue bows already, so I'll make more purples as the month goes along.
